When moving fine arts and antiques internationally, improper handling can lead to irreversible damage or loss in value. Professional art moving services understand the intricacies involved and mitigate risks associated with packing, transportation, and customs clearance.
Engaging a reliable art moving company provides peace of mind, ensuring your artworks and antiques are professionally managed from start to finish.
The Department of Agriculture and Water Materials have a Biosecurity Import Conditions System (BICON) that outlines what is required to comply with the import and export of all imported timber, wooden articles, bamboo and related products (whether for commercial or personal use). It is the responsibility of importers to ensure that their products meet the import conditions. OSS World Wide Movers can assist you with ensuring your artwork and antiques meet the import conditions to avoid delays, additional costs, and, in some cases, the re-export or destruction of your goods.
Our crates and containers are lined with the required protective materials to ensure your artwork or antiques are carefully packed and protected from damage. We utilise polyethylene and polyurethane foams depending on the nature of the items being packed according to density, shock absorption vibration etc.
Incorrect packing or the use of the wrong cushioning agents could potentially do more harm than good to your precious antiques. At OSS World Wide Movers, we determine the specific packing and cushioning requirements with relation to spacing, cushioning materials etc to protect your items. It is strongly recommended that you contact one of our experienced OSS packing experts before you begin packing and planning your move.
Moving firearms or weapons of any kind can be problematic, even if the items in question have been decommissioned and are approved in your country of origin.
What you regard as a decorative antique, might be considered an offensive weapon in another country. Should you have any concerns about items you are planning to move, it is best to consult an OSS Relocation Coordinator prior to shipping to prevent a potential weapon of any kind (eg firearm/dagger/knife/spear etc) from delaying an otherwise problem-free move or relocation.
Photographs, Movies, Magazines and even artwork or paintings that are legally available and acceptable in one country, may be regarded as pornographic and prohibited in another.

OSS Worldwide Movers offers tailored insurance coverage options that provide financial protection against unforeseen circumstances, including accidental damage, loss, or theft.

Knowing this information and having your fine art pieces certified will be important when customs are processing your shipment at your final destination.
